The Crop Report.

The August crop report of the Agricui-
tural Department was issued Wednesday.
The last report in regard to tobacco has been
very much criticised, as representing the crop
as larger than it really is. In the report OF
Wednesday, on the subject Of tobacco, is The
following:
The tobacco crop is in high condition in
the seed-eaf States, averaging nearly 100, en-
cept in Wisconsin. The shipping and cutting
districts. of the West makes an unprecedented
It, ort of low condition. Tennessee, 10; Ken
lucky. IS ; Ohio, 50 Indiana, 80 Illinois, %
Missouri, 60. In view of the heavy reduction
i'll acreage, only small fragment of the usual
crop may be expected. The official investiga-
ton of area, now in progress, will determine
authoritatvely the breadth cultivated the pres
ent YEAR
The prospect month ago was for very
heavy clop of corn aud a rate of yield about
the average. In Texas and Tennessee the
condition has declined materially. In the cen
trail corn region, however, in the valleys OF the
Ohio and Missouri, where two-thirds OF the
crop is grown and the commercial supply is
procured, a very heavy reduction has taken
place, which has made the national average
S0.1 instead of 97.I last month. The cause is
long continued tlrouth, which has been sever
est in Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and
Michigan Nebraska has been scorched on
the southern borders, and Iowa and Missouri
have escaped with comparatively light loss, as
have The more Northern States.
The condition of spring wheat, reported very
low last month from ravages of chinch bugs,
is not improved in the August returns, but
has fallen off very slightly, the general aver
age being ,S.s, two points lessthan August re-
turns of last year In the oat crops there is
no change. There is great reduction since
the lst Of July III The condition of pot atoes al
most entirely The result of drouth The hay
cropis also greatly reduced in the West. The
general average is so.
